 Maria Kubysh & Fiona Williams, Across the mountain, 2011
 dual channel digital video with sound
 34:01 loop





Across the mountain was made in collaboration with Maria Kubysh. It is a dual channel video of footage shot simultaneously while walking 'up the mountain'The footage does not progress very far, however, as the artists become increasingly involved in the moment – as oriented by the camera, the sun, and each other. The video was edited to synch to 'real-time', using the sound of birds, cars and the artists' conversation to link moments together.

The work was installed in an entrance hallway, projected small-scale, from beneath two chairs in a coat rack space.
